Improve Your Focus & Concentration Naturally
Very often the brain and nervous system become fatigued and overloaded. Much like a computer receiving too much data all at once, the brain can become overwhelmed, slow down, or even crash. This can result in an inability to focus, brain fog, memory loss, ADD/ADHS-like symptoms, a “wired” feeling, or the inability to cope with daily life. Alternative approaches such as Biofeedback testing and treatment are highly effective in improving focus and concentration. It detects imbalances, or weaknesses, in the stress handling areas of the body, and in turn, stimulates the affected areas to help the mind and body better function in times of overload, overwhelm and fatigue.
Optimize Your Eyes
What many people may not know is that not all progressive lenses are the same. Sure, there are your conventional ones, but now there are also lenses equipped with computer technology in the surface region of the lens. Not your average pair of glasses! Talk about high quality. This is called Freeform Progressive Technology. Freeform lenses can sharpen vision, provide brighter colours, and reduce glare caused by light sources at night. Many leaders in the vision industry see free-form technology as the revolution of vision.
Living Amidst Uncertainty
With so much uncertainty this fall, not knowing how our lives, schools and work will unfold and become impacted, sets the stage for a very different “fall experience” than we have experienced before. Nothing as we know it is quite the same. It is natural that loss, disappointment and anxiety will bubble up when our routines and structure changes without our consent. Adaptability, resiliency, an openness to surrender and welcoming in a great sense of humor are amongst the many tools needed to navigate the unknown. Reaching out and allowing room to grieve what can’t be, so we can open up to the creativity that can be.
Words to Live By
“Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, hate less, love more, and good things will be yours.” Swedish Proverb

Community Spotlight: Keto Treats Bakery
My journey to opening Keto Treats Bakery began when my son (age three at the time) began having seizures. After spending years researching what might help him, I learned that a high-fat, low-carb keto diet could play a key role in managing epilepsy. I also learned that such a diet could help me with my own inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. When life got busy, I found it difficult to keep up with the keto lifestyle and couldn’t find low-carb products readily available. Since then, I have made it my mission to provide customers with high-quality, low-carb baked goods!

Abs of Steel or Jelly Belly?
Your pelvis is a ring of bones held together by ligaments and muscles. These muscles engage every time you walk, sit, stand, run, or even breathe! Weak stabilizing muscles cause your pelvis to move too much and surrounding muscles contract to control the excess movement, leading to chronic muscle tightness. By strengthening the core, our bodies are able to withstand these forces without muscle spasms. Some of the best exercises for core involve maintaining a neutral spine position and resisting forces. Your physiotherapist can give you specific exercises to improve your strength, while relaxing other muscles through manual therapy techniques.
Exploring Art Therapy
Art therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy, facilitating self-exploration and understanding. While using imagery, colour and shape as part of this creative therapeutic process, thoughts and feelings can be expressed that would otherwise be difficult to articulate. Connecting with the art and the self, you will walk a path of healing and transformation with your therapist. An example of an art therapy directive: think of your definition of a beautiful day, and create this in any art form that feels right to you. The image can be literal or abstract, created on paper or with found objects in nature.
Book Club: Untamed by Glennon Doyle
Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both a memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It offers a piercing, electrifying examination of the restrictive expectations women are issued from birth; shows how hustling to meet those expectations leaves women feeling dissatisfied and lost; and reveals that when we quit abandoning ourselves and instead abandon the world’s expectations of us, we become women who can finally look at ourselves and recognize: There She Is.
